X was the last one with a good story
- Comment on As trade war escalates, economists bet on China resilience 4 days ago:
That seems like a pretty safe bet
- Comment on Is there any hope for Ukraine to survive as an independent state now that trump is desperately wishing for a peace treaty with Russia, even bypassing Ukraine? 1 week ago:
I’ll say what I’ve been saying for a while:
“Russia has nukes. Ukraine does not. The outcome was decided before it began.”
Russia will stay in Ukraine as long as it is profitable to do so, and will leave when that is no longer the case or can get something big enough in response to convince them to leave. The US and EU can supply arms to Ukraine to make it less profitable but even so Russia has far more troops and resources than Ukraine. Unfortunately the US also hinged that support on Ukraine not negotiating for peace so they’ve been dug in extra deep in this and lost at least a generation of men now.

what’s the end goal with this massive no-win scenario?
To get more
fire-fighting slavesvolunteer prison firefighters to cheaply fight the inevitable further wildfires brought about by uncontrolled climate change, duh - Comment on I'm just like some ordinary dude upset about what the government is doing. Doesn't anyone with any sort of means or influence care? Where are those guys? 2 weeks ago:
This is a great way to deflect legitimate blame from the Democratic party representatives and operatives who actually deserve it, as if it isn’t their goddamn job to listen to voters.
- Comment on What procedures do you take to save and archive your games? 1 month ago:
Sounds like those old bdr’s should be checked and possibly rearchived 😂. I think the Blu-ray M-Discs are the ones that claim the longevity.
- Comment on What procedures do you take to save and archive your games? 1 month ago:
I mean, you should always check your backups and make 2 for good measure, but supposedly some of these newer ones are made for archival and claim between 10-100 years. Never trust such claims without verification but if true could be the best thing for archival besides punching bits in stone.
- Comment on What procedures do you take to save and archive your games? 1 month ago:
Blu-rays are a viable backup medium for long-term storage
- Comment on Why can't someone create a public alternative to health insurance in the USA? 2 months ago:
In all fairness, where Republicans are concerned gulags are warranted
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 3 months ago:
Some do. Hydro is a net positive, not sure about wind but probably, but last I heard solar not so much. That may have changed since.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 3 months ago:
Most are safer than nuclear, but until the environmental cost of manufacturing them is outweighed by the benefit of their use then nuclear is the least intolerable stopgap.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 3 months ago:
No. Liberals have always been closer to fascists than socialists. Look which way liberals in Weimar Germany went.
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 3 months ago:
The problem isn’t that they exploded one time. The problem is that that one explosion is still happening and likely will be for quite a while.
On the other hand, modern rock exploding plant designs are so much better that it’s very unlikely to repeat itself, so there’s that.

Hey, aren’t you the one who dropped a diaper load because Hexbear removed your comments justifying supporting candidates who were pro genocide?
- Comment on Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities 6 months ago:
Russia began to suck hardest when the US succeeded in turning it into a supercharged version of itself. Every bad bit about Russia you don’t like? It’s where the US is headed, thanks to its own imperialism. “Rainbow Capitalism” is as unsustainable as Rainbow Slavery or Rainbow Fascism.

Well don’t be too hard on yourself, you tried your best and that’s all Jesus asks of you

Turns out Blue MAGA can’t suppress the left. Sad face.
- Comment on Spreading of the 100 biggest Lemmy communities 6 months ago:
I mean, I don’t know enough about North Korea here but Lenin decriminalized homosexuality in like 1920. Stalin recriminalized it in 1932-33 but for a bit there the Soviet Union was the most LGBT friendly country in the world.

Either this is a significant personality change that would indicate an illness requiring treatment, or this is who he’s secretly always been in which case you’re really not losing anything but your illusions and if this is the last time you see him then you’re not really losing anything important.
If it’s the former it may help you to feel better by trying to get him some help, even if you fail then at least you tried. If it’s the latter then it’s just best to cut your losses as soon as possible and move on.
